Please remember that rent is a priority debt and along with Council Tax and court fines is considered by the courts as the debt to take priority over all others. We would encourage tenants to set up a Direct Debit payment. This is a very convenient way of paying your rent and once it has been set up, you no longer have to worry about missing a rent payment. Other payment options are available.

How we use your information

Information about your tenancy will be held securely on NFDC's Housing Systems and will be used to administer your tenancy. NFDC is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers and to this end may share information internally and with other government agencies including those responsible for auditing or administering public funds, for the prevention and detection of fraud. We may share details of the period of your tenancy and contact details you have provided, with utility companies, if this information is requested by them in writing and is required for the purposes of their legitimate interests.
